Can’t wait to go back! Everything was delicious and the staff was amazing. Top that off with the amazing flavor combos on a huge menu and you feel like you’re in heaven.

We were in town for a few days to visit and with the reviews given thought to give a try. It was amazing!! I had the chicken fried chicken and not only was the chicken good, but the country style gravy tasted delish- it went great with the mashers and vegetables…oh, go with an appetite because the portions are huge. 👌 A side note; the Cajun half chicken and Bayou Fishplate catfish you can’t go wrong either 😋

Always delicious. Friendly service. Amazing cocktails and a plethora of beer choices from around the world. I also appreciate that during the pandemic they required vaccination records for entry! (I am a medical professional and work with Immuno compromised patients) We felt safe to go out when risks were high.

The beer selection was out of this world. Great service and perfect atmosphere, if you are looking for nice but casual. It is 21 and over only. That was perfect for us. It has been awhile since we were able to go out with no kids. Utah needs more 21 and over establishments like this one.

The food and service here was great. We will definitely be back. We had the jumbilya and the seafood balls. Both were delicious. The salad that came with it was weird as it was just greens and ranch with one large crouton. The ranch was good though. (On a side note: The parking was extremely difficult to get out of. The spaces are at an angel but you cannot exit out the other side. I’d highly recommend making them perpendicular spaces.)

Waiting on a layover, stopped in to grab a good breakfast and was not disappointed! I had steak and eggs and it was delicious. The steak was melt in your mouth tender w a smooth buttery spread. The eggs were perfect as well as the potatoes. I was stuffed and the wait staff was super friendly. Nice selection of drinks and seating was plentiful. I was very satisfied with my experience!!👍🏾

Love White Horse. I have had two great experiences. One was at the airport location of all places. The burger was SO GOOD and the staff were so welcoming and kind. But I went in today for brunch and it really solidified my affinity for this lovely bar. The food was so good and well priced. Delicious house made bacon and well cooked eggs. The pancakes were so great. Most of all the hospitality was phenomenal from top to bottom. Now I just have to come back to check out their amazing cocktail program.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Pete Souvall (3 months ago)

Wow!! The most amazing food we have had in Salt Lake. This place was so unique with so many combinations of flavors, liquors, and beyond. Melonie was a great server and we will definitely be back. We had a dozen oysters, the steak tartar which was to DIE for. The ricotta gnocchi and the gem salad. So unique and tasty to say the least. We also enjoyed a few cocktails and their ciders are diverse and delicious.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Makenzie Callahan (4 months ago)

I was amazed to find grilled artichoke as an appetizer!! I have never had it grilled like that and with such complimentary flavors. It brought me back to the times my Ecuadorian dad will bring out artichokes and mayonnaise to munch on during the warmer months. The main entrée my husband and I had was cooked to perfection. I had a steak sandwich and he had a whole steak dish. We enjoyed the ice cream dessert with that thin crispy waffle-like cookie. I highly recommend eating here.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Vianca McCallister (7 months ago)

Cocktails were legit. The egg n chips were yum. The braised short rib was just okay… except for the undercooked carrots and onions. The molten chocolate cake was good… not super sweet, so it paired well with my cocktails. Considered giving 4 stars, but considering I went in during their lunch rush… giving them the benefit of a doubt, so 5 stars.

Always a great fillet! Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. We enjoyed the churros and the chocolate cake. The appetizers were also wonderful they are very large sized make sure to come hungry. The outdoor seating is in the cutest little outdoor green house covered areas. I want to enjoy sitting outside on our next visit.

Our waiter Travis was outstanding & just made our dinning experience as perfect as it could be!

“Huge Thank You Travis!!!”

The food while spendy was definitely worth it & just everything about the evening was absolutely exquisite!!!

The photo is their Scallops with Lobster Tail add on…

I had never dinned here before & in looking at photos of the “Atmosphere” I thought it may not be very “fancy” but I was wrong! There isn’t much seating & it is open, but it is warm & comfortable & all of the staff just make it feel so welcoming! On of the best nights out I have had & would definitely recommend!!!

✭✭✭✭✭ By John McDevitt (a month ago)

The quality of the food did not at all reflect the price. Everything was way too salted, and the temperature was off. The calamari was $25 and was super dry and tiny and looked like it was fried with old batter. I got the “Waygu Ribeye” for $100 but it tasted like I should have paid a third of the price. I have eaten at expensive restaurants and felt like I got a good experience and good food that was worth the price I paid. At this place I just feel like I threw my money away. The only good thing I can say about this restaurant is the servers were polite.

✭✭ By Gina Neeler (8 months ago)

I visited Harbor Seafood after my coworker strongly recommended it. Being new to SLC, I just had no idea of the nicer restaurants to visit. I was more than pleased with my experience! Randy was my waiter and I don’t know if it is possible to be more accommodating. My meal started with spinach & asiago dip which was large and delicious! I had 2 cocktails with dinner. 1st a rye Manhattan and 2nd the trouble maker. Both were delicious but the desert cocktail was White light was next level for me! Just delicious plain and simple! For my dinner entree, korean short ribs with spicy corn and shredded brussel sprouts. Delicious and a nice serving size. My dessert was something I’ve never heard of but definitely loved, Creme brulee pound cake, Oh My God! This was seriously wonderful! I have to thank Darius for the recommendation and Randy for the service beyond compare! If you enjoy Wagyu beef and exceptional quality food and care, Treat yourself!!
Firstly, I understand that everything is not for everyone. If you understand quality then you will understand value for your money. Its the value in a casual, food and cocktail elevated experience. Quality costs. This isn’t a cheap place but the value is there!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Raz Berry (4 months ago)

Was a good experience; food was great ; the taste of the Brussels sprouts salad was Really awesome; Red Snapper was delicious too; even the churro Ice cream desserts was Delicioso ; Customer service was Good . I know is a little bit price but the Quality of the Ingredients probably is superior than the average restaurants.
The only really small and Bad detail was That Randall ( not sure if He is the Manager/Owner/Supervisor ) came to the table next to my family and He asked them how was everything doing !! Nice manner !! But He didn’t ask to us ; probably because my little 2 years old boy was making noice or maybe Randall though we didn’t speak English because we are Hispanic ; any way !!
I didn’t let than that little thing ruin the great food and time that my family and I enjoyed that day .
Probably I’ll come

Tried several other stores and think this is the best. The taste is moderate, and the seafood is fresh and the portion is generous. The most important thing is the price! The service attitude is also very good👍 Strongly recommend everyone to try it! This is one of the few restaurants that I always want to come back to. My kids love it too, I was pleasantly surprised!

✭✭✭✭✭ By ge wang (10 months ago)

This was one of the best dining experiences we had on our trip to Utah. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly, and we all left full and happy. Such a hidden gem this place is. Highly recommended!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Michelle F. (6 months ago)

We came here totally on a whim one night, and now Seafood Bucket has become our go-to restaurant for everything seafood! Portion sizes are generous, the food is always served fast and piping hot, and the seafood is fresh and delicious (and the sides are pretty good too)! Every time we visit, the owners are always very accommodating and the place is super well decorated and clean. Definitely recommend getting the Combo Deal 1 with the Cajun sauce—with the amount of food that you get, it’s super worth the price!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Mandy Xiao (8 months ago)

Delicious! The crawfish is super easy to open and just melts in your mouth. The shrimp is jumbo sized and super juicy! The garlic and butter sauce is so delicious and buttery! This place is 5 stars for sure! No doubt. I also got the Thai tea and it’s not super sweet like other places, all the food here is prefect! Love it coming back for sure!

✭✭✭✭✭ By Sandra Diaz (7 months ago)

Best seafood I’ve had since being in France! I would give this place 100 stars if I could. Every single bite of food was perfect. Luis at the bar was amazing and such a great personality to add to our experience.

So impressed with the seared calamari..not breaded…not fried.

Order the octopus rare.

Excellent house wines and espresso martinis.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Diane B (2 months ago)

We sat curb side to enjoy the weather.
Service was great, even when my child spilled their beverage all over the floor.
The crab cakes were delicious, the aioli is needed to add that extra flavor level.
The fries are dang good, we love the sauce options. Ketchup is great but we enjoy the variety.
Besides the great food, you won’t go thirsty here. There are two full menus of spirits and wine.

✭✭✭✭ By L Q (3 months ago)

Had an amazing seabass and glazed salmon. The food was fresh very chefs kiss. The ambiance was really nice and cocktails good. Only reason I give 4 stats is because our waitress was a little off…older lady w short hair she just had a very weird vibe towards us we didn’t feel welcome or wanted slightly judged but everyone else was great food was worth it all and the Japanese oysters delicious!

✭✭✭✭ By Alyssabubbletea x3 (6 months ago)

I am very glad I found a good place to go. It was one of the best restaurants I have been to in SLC so far. The food are so delicious. The ambiance is casual and great. Not too noisy. Great for a night out. Except for me, all tables had drinks. Big bar selection. I love this place.

✭✭✭✭✭ By Heeyoung Kim (2 months ago)

Black cod was amazing. It was tender and light and delicious, I only wished more came with it. Grilled oysters were very good. My fiance and I split the fries for a side, they came with 3 delicious dipping sauces. Service was impeccable.
